Their legal war costs almost more than a billion dollars and spanning four continents. The war began when Apple did a super-secret project of creating the iPhone and the late Steve Jobs's fury when Samsung-an Apple supplier-brought out a device that was very similar to the iPhone. Kurt Eichenwald explored the Korean company's record of patent infringement among other ruthless business tactics. Kurt then explains why Apple might win the battles, but still loose the war. Some people accuse Samsung of stealing the idea of making a smartphone from Apple. Some even say that Samsung copied Apple's iPhone. Some of Apple's executives went to a meeting in the Samsung Electronics Building, where they discussed their products. Apple's associate general counsel, Chip Lutton, accused Samsung of copying the iPhone. "You copied the iPhone. The similarities are completely beyond the possibility of coincidence." accused Chip. "How dare you say that!" Seungho Ahn snapped back. "We have been making cell phones for years!" and the argument keeps going on. Ever since then...Apple and Samsung have been tied on the charts, costing both companies over a billion dollars on smartphones.
